After an illness of 15 days, occasioned by the arduous work of his missions, Marco is obliged in conscience to give up the care of the most remote missions, and the most difficult for his health. He falls ill nearly everytime he is obliged to go to Dorr, Bayron and Selan ; the rough road, the poor food and housing, beside the ingratitude of Catholics living there are the cause of his sickness. Another priest for Muskegon, Grand Haven, Croton, Manistee, Dorr, Bayron, Selan, is absolutely necessary. A reply is expected. If Father Thomas Brady can have another priest with him perhaps Marco can also. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 8vo. 10
